I Don't Feel At Home
Inspired by the dissolution of my good friend's marriage. Heavy on atmosphere and breathy bg vocals. [more inside]
Friday
A song mostly written on a Friday. [more inside]
Floating
An atmospheric interlude that briefly teases a song, written for my unborn son. I tried to convey a feeling of floating around in an amniotic sac with brief moments of activity that go away as quickly as they appear. [more inside]
badwater
A brief mysterious scene. [more inside]
to dream
late night meeting with a street musician, near saint anne, in Montpellier. Lots of things to say, many songs in his bag, mostly sharing the same chords (!?). Nice feeling.
short trip
Ever been in a french train station ? Recorded as I was coming back from playing with Edouard (whose amplified saxophone is included). NOISE 20 secs into the recording (that's for humannaire) - but it ends as smooth as usual (guitar outro). Bits of usual threatening, complaining, philosophing... in french (and english).
Long Night and Nothing to Do
I wrote this song in one night for a school assignment that was due the next day. The music was really just flowing out of me. I don't even remember writing most of this because I was so tired. It was created to be a score for a 9-minute short film that I made, but it's grown on me so much that I've decided to include it on my first album.
It does need some work, though: the mixing is way off in some areas (and even distorted) and it's way too long to include on an album.
Glow
I made this song last summer (2006). It has the usual synth and drum machine, as well as the addition of a little guitar. Very fast-paced, yet relaxed. Oh, and, of course, it'll someday (maybe) have lyrics.
Aware
Very atmospheric.
This song will always remind me Christmas, as I wrote most of it during the month of December. Just like my previous track, this will also have vocals someday.
Farside
A visit to a place with many layers, shades of light, colors. Whose woods these are, I do not know.

Cap Antibes, France, swimming 1999

Standing on a pebbly beach, after dinner in the dark - small waves wash up the beach and around my bare feet.

On the porch of my parents' house in Portland, Victoria. The familiar sound of an electrical fuse box buzzing in the rain and pluvers (birds) in the distance.

Distant rolling thunder, a country lane, a pond and some ducks - a still, warm day with light rain, a stroll after lunch.
